BootLegg Tom Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hello everyone, I am kinda familiar with port forwarding but never had to use it due to the fact that my connection was a dial-up one. Now that has changed, and I believe I need to open a port on my router/wireless card. I just recently installed the latest version of uTorrent, configured most of the options I knew of and proceeded to download a torrent. The download proceeds fine with speeds averaging a little over 100kB/s...not the greatest but compared to dial-up it's flipping awsome!! My issue is that I have the yellow icon down at the bottom stating that I have no incoming connections. I have allowed the connection through my software firewall but think that the problem lies with my router/wireless card which is a Novatel Wireless MiFi2200 through Sprint. It has options for portforwarding as well as port filtering. Under the portforwarding tab it lists different protocols that one can check to allow access ie; FTP; SMPT; HTTP; HTTPS, etc... PTP is not on there. Also, when checking one of those options one must put an IP address in - would that be the IP of my pc or the IP of the Router? Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Does it allow you to create a custom protocol for forwarding?The IP you forward to is your computer's IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootLegg Tom Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 DWK---Yes I believe it does allow for you to set up a custom protocol, but I will have to check when i get home from work. I will let you know then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Nephilim Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi If this is a 3G Network you are gonna be out of luck as you are firewalled from the ISP end.. you are probally NOT gonna be able to open the ports some 3G Networks will open ports for you some will just Not..

BootLegg Tom Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yes it is a 3g network,,,sprint to be exact, the port forwarding options are limited and dont allow you to customize a specific port. The port filtering but I tried to open the port that was on my speed guide menu of utorrent and it still wasnt open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 You'd have to pay a LOT extra to get an unfiltered static ip probably. Otherwise, there's almost certainly an ISP-controlled commercial router "upstream" of you that's blocking incoming traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
